I have just started to also try and make different weapons out of chain
mail. I have built two flails out of both the 1/4 I.D. 17 gauge, and the
3/8 I.D. 14 gauge wire. The 14 gauge wire is stronger and does more damage
but I am still perfecting the process.
I am willing to try anything that you would ever need in chainmail. I will
build it to your specifications (if they are possible) and to your likeing.
Please feal free to just write me and ask questions if you are not interested
in the items that I make. I would be happy to explain what I do.
With the current growth in interest in the Middle ages and Knights,
I have decided to bring you a web page where I can show you my
wears. I have been makeing chain mail for over 5 years and enjoy
doing so. Most of my work is made with galvanized 14 guage wire
and has about a 3/8 inside diameter on the rings. I am working on getting
one other picture of a piece I have with a copper cross in the center
of the chest. But at the present time I am short on space and need to
shrink both of the pictures. If you are interested in any of the chain mail
that I make please feel free to contact me. I would love to make some chain
mail for you if you would like. For a list of what I can offer send your
name and address to me and I will reply. Or tell me what you might be
interested in me trying to make, I will try anything.
COIF
The Coif is a head cover worn by itself or under a helmet. The one that
I have made weighs aprox 6lbs. The young girl above is wearing it and
believe it or not it fits me. It tapers out at the shoulders and has
one opening for the face.
Shirt/Jerkin
The Jerkin is used to cover the torso or main part of the body. The
current models that I have made are both short sleeve shirts but am
working on a long sleeve shirt. I have built a shirt with a copper cross
in the center of the chest. At first it was just for fun but it turned
out rather nice so I kept it.
Other
This is where it gets interesting. I have made a few brassiere and also
have a pair of drawers to go with one of them. I am also trying to make a
pair of gauntlets but hands seem to be more complicated than I had originaly
thought. I am currently trying smaller rings as they seem to be more flexible
and feel much better when you where them. I just went on a trip and wile I was
bored in the hotel on night I made a neck tie. This is something that will
get you a second look at any meeting or restaurant.
I also make chainmail dice bags. They can be used for other uses also
such as change bags or odds and end can be kept in you pocket or purse in
them. They are currently made from 1/4 I.D. 17 gauge galvanized wire. If
you whish they could be made out of copper or stainless steele. Or just
about any other metal known to man (that comes in wire).
Here is a new picture which I am still working on.
